Managed to get into my craft room today and made 2 cards. Been ages since i did any serious crafting , but got these stamps at the weekend and was determined i would do something with them . They are both from my favourite supplier , Dimensions Fourth , i go to a card class there most weeks
The Lady was stamped then coloured with Pro-markers , ribbons and brads from stash , the background is the swirls folder done on the Black Magic Coredinations card stock, then sanded over to reveal the Turquoise core .
The sentiment is one of the free stamps from this months Do Crafts Creativity Mag .
The Boot and flowers one is again a stamp from DF as are the flowers .
a bit of masking, then matted and layerd with Basil Bling.
The card ribbon border was punched using a border punch from Stamping up .
Going on holiday this coming Sunday and hope to be away for at least 2 week off down to Devon and Somerset with the caravan so fingers crossed the weather is kind to us
Taking a box of stamped images with me and my promarkers and pencils so if it does rain i will have something crafty to keep me happy .
Hope you are all well in Blogland

Nearly a week since i last posted on my blog , where has the time gone ?.
Busy doing all sorts but have managed to get a few more cards done for the sale at the weekend . Im really please with the 3 i have posted .
The images are downloads from Cuddly Buddy , and i actually used some of my Coredinations card stock.
Its great for using with the cuttle bug , so will be investing in a few more packs of it .
Tomorrow i am going to a workshop at Dimesions Fourth in Barnsley, they were on Create and Craft yesterday so hoping we will get to make some of the fairy cards Aly di on the show .
No doubt i will come home with lots of new goodies .
They actually make the stamps where we are going , fasinating to see how its done and they have hundreds of stamps just waiting to be bought .
Hope all is well in Blogland

Been a busy week again but a very good one
We picked up our new touring caravan yesterday
so today we have been finding out how everything works .
Last weekend was spent altering the garden and the drive way so that we could make enough space for it .
So now the pressure is on to CRAFT .
I am doing a table top sale with a friend bank holiday Sunday,and my stock of cards is very low .
these are 3 very quick and easy ones i have managed to knock up in between other things
the images are from PinkPetticoat , coloured with my new Promarker pens and a sprinkling of Glamour dust just for good measure and of course used my Nesties .
wish i had a few more sets of them ,
